Hi, im new to the forum and have a problem with my mig welder.
Its an old Clarke Mig Pro 90 gas welder.
Its been running fine for ages but yesterday it refused to work.
Its feeding wire fine but wont arc.
When I touch the work it just makes the wire glow, even when i touch the earth clamp. I have tried all power settings and wire speeds.
Ive switched it off and allowed it to cool for a couple of hours and still happening.
Also, it keeps blowing fuses in the fuse box, but not the plug.
Its all clean metal and Its earthed properly.
The welder makes a buzzing noise which it didnt before.
Anyone had a problem like this before.
Hope someone can help,
Many thanks
